Mayor Eric Garcetti: ‘We’re too great of a city not to be cutting edge’

KCRW’s Steve Chiotakis talked with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti yesterday on his second Monday on the job at City Hall. Garcetti told department heads and other top officers in the city that they would need to reapply for their jobs.

The mayor gathered more than three dozen general managers and executive directors Monday morning – including the L.A. Fire Chief and the city’s Administrative Office – to discuss their future with the city. “I’m not pre-judging any one department,” said the mayor, “but I am looking at those who have been bold.”
